Galaxy Group Hickson 31
The galaxies of Hickson Compact Group 31 are colliding. Two of the brighter galaxies are merging on the far left, while an elongated galaxy above is connected to them by an unusual bridge of stars. This process will likely result in one large elliptical galaxy, but not for another billion years.
